Our assessment
The evidence shows that Cellucor Alpha Amino Grape contains calcium as a listed ingredient. For a general audience looking to support bone health and muscle function, calcium can be a beneficial addition to your routine. However, the data on this specific product is limited, and we must rely on the general profile of calcium to guide you.
How it works
Think of calcium as a structural builder and a signal messenger. It supports bone mineralization and density, and it is essential for neuromuscular relaxation, helping your muscles contract and nerves send signals properly [NIH ODS].
Safety profile
FDA has received a total of 592,059 adverse event reports across all supplement categories, though specific reports for this exact product are not available. For calcium specifically, high intakes may increase the risk of heart disease and prostate cancer. Side effects of excessive calcium include constipation, nausea, weight loss, extreme tiredness, frequent urination, abnormal heart rhythms, and a high risk of death from heart disease [NIH ODS] [FDA data].
Our recommendation
Our recommendation: Use this product as directed, but be mindful of your total calcium intake from all sources, including food and other supplements. Calcium can reduce absorption of medications like bisphosphonates, tetracycline antibiotics, and levothyroxine [NIH ODS]. If you take any of these, separate your supplement by at least 2 hours. Data not available on the exact calcium dose per serving, so check the label carefully.
